![]() I bought a "leaker" and fixed it... been up for over a year with no problems...
As for viewing... I absolutely love it... the glass seems clearer than either my 90 or 135 and cleaning with a regular magnet or scraper side to side or up and down don't present any problems. (A smaller one I could see with the steeper curve.) Mine sits upon an old but strong desk, and it too is coming up for sale - (check in the Buy/Sell Forum). I would have another one someday - but right now I'm planning one BIG tank...

![]() I bought my 175g bowfront used, no leaks yet (knock on wood). I really like the look, cleaning with a magnet is a bit of a pain I have to go side to side to clean the bow

![]() I had a Oceanic 72G Bow. 4 Months in it started leaking from the back-bottom seem, the LFS replaced it and 4 months later the exact same thing happened. My LFS replaced it with a 75G flat front.
I think if your getting it used and it hasn't leaked so far you're prob good J |

![]() No leaks on my 72G bow but, they are a pain to reefscape because they are so skinny at the ends. Would be OK for a FOWLR tank though. I'd never buy another bowfront for a reef.

![]() Not good for Aquascsping.
Not good for lighting, or stands, or canopies Not as easy to clean front glass with magnet or razor blade A good FO tank that looks cool A bad reef tank choice.
